Down Home

Country Blues or Down Home Blues has remained an important field in the Blues world since it was "discovered" by the folkies in the early 60s. You can get all the great pre-War stuff on Document, pick and choose from the charming Yazoo releases or explore all the great field recordings done in recent years. Further, some artists like Eric Bibb have achieved world wide star status. So it's not just old men on porches and voices from the past.
